Yes, but the interest you are giving is still subject to the probate process.
answered on Apr 12, 2021
There is no question here. However, in all likelihood, the answer to the question is that one would have to look at the language of the deed and the disclaimer to answer the question. You should consult with a real estate or probate attorney and provide them with the documents.
He got papers last week saying there’s a court date apr 13 and she taking him to court to get permission to sell .

It's likely that this is something going on in his father's estate proceeding. There are a number of reasons that the property is being sold. He should hire an attorney to find out what is going on and to protect his interest.
How can I get them removed and get a clear deed
answered on Mar 29, 2021
The answer depends on the wording in the deed and the factual circumstances. It's not clear from your description who are the joint tenants on your deed. You should take the deed to a real estate attorney for review and advice concerning how to get the deed corrected.
Probate complete says my deceased mom’s property is now me and my siblings property. Realtor says her previously deceased husband’s joint tenancy removal requires a certified copy of his death certificate. There was a Quit Claim Deed on the land, and my mother was the last to pass.
answered on Mar 25, 2021
You don't say who is the grantor and grantee of the quit claim deed, which could affect the answer. You should determine where your mother's husband died and request a copy from the appropriate governmental agency. If he died in Oklahoma, it is the Oklahoma Department of Health. You... View More
Client added work on and agreed to price but when I gave them a bill for the added services they suddenly decided they weren’t happy with work anymore and wanted full refund.

You should seek the advice of an attorney. The answer is too fact intensive to give any sort of answer. Depending on the dollar mount you might consider mediation to litigation. Good luck.
I had a loan transfered into my account for $6900 yesterday. Today an additional $6900 was wired in. Can I keep that money? Or is it inevitable to have to pay it back. The loan was only for $6900.
I paid a wire fee twice, once for each wire.
answered on Mar 19, 2021
You will have to pay it back. They will eventually discover it. However, a better course would be to call the loan company and let them know of their mistake. You can ask them to reimburse you for your wire fees.
answered on Mar 18, 2021
You need to review your sales contract or mineral deed to determine the effective sate of the transfer. If the revenues are for before the effective date they would belong to you. If after the effective date, they belong to the buyer. If you cash the check and the revenues do not belong to you,... View More
Dropped and the operating costs have gone way up. The operator is thinking of packaging this well with some other low producing ones and selling them. Would I receive any proceeds from this sale?
answered on Mar 8, 2021
You would not receive any monies from the operator's sale of its interest. However, If you want to get rid of your interest, you might tell the operator that you are willing to sell your interest along side his. A purchasing operator often times will want as much of the well as he can... View More

You do not have to have an attorney prepare a quitclaim deed. However, it is more costly to correct a badly prepared quitclaim deed than it is to have an attorney do it correctly in the first place. An attorney can also advise you on whether a quitclaim deed is the best solution for what you are... View More

It is not clear what your question is. What kind of policy, what is the designation, and what are you using it for?
Passed away as well. The law firm told me that the attorney put the wrong legal description on her mineral rights. Is the law firm responsible for correcting this for me?
answered on Mar 2, 2021
The liability of the law firm could depend on a number of factors that are not revealed in your question: The nature of the mistake and how it occurred. Any complicity in the mistake by your mother. How long ago this happened. The relationship between the firm and the attorney. If you... View More
I am hoping there is a statute of limitations, otherwise, does a probate ever end or is an estate ever really settled if a will can pop up out of nowhere during the life expectancy of the heirs at law for the next 20 - 50 years. Heirs at law spent 1 year probating the estate as intestate and now... View More
answered on Feb 24, 2021
There is no time limitation on when a will may be admitted to probate. There is no statute specifically related to nurses that I am aware of. There is a general statute concerning wills obtained under duress, fraud, or undue influence. It is difficult from your description to determine what the... View More

If the determination of heirship describes your line, it will suffice regardless of who initiates the proceedings, provided it is properly done. Sometimes, depending on the value of the interest, oil companies will take affidavits rather than proceedings to determine heirs. Concerning your... View More

If a probate has not been commenced, you should initiate probate proceedings in the County where your father lived. If one has already been initiated, you should hire an attorney to protect your rights. You must have a probate for good title to be passed on Oklahoma real estate. In the probate,... View More

I am sorry for your loss. If the land was titled in his name only, you will have to go through probate. If it was titled in his and your name as joint tenants, you can file an affidavit of termination of joint tenancy (or go through probate if there are other reasons to have his estate probated)....

I was informed that I needed to fill an Articles of Organization form first but I do not see anything by that name.
answered on Jan 26, 2021
The Articles of Organization form can be found on the Oklahoma Secretary of State's website. You should also have an Operating Agreement and will need to obtain an Employer's ID number. Most business law firms provide all of the properly completed forms for a fixed price. You can file... View More

Sorry for your loss. There is not enough information to fully answer your question. The answer depends upon who died when and who were their heirs. Generally, upon the death of your father-in-law, his property would go to his heirs. That would include his spouse, if any, any living children or... View More
I have found mineral interest through unclaimed property in Oklahoma. I am the last living relative of his. Would I be entitled to the mineral interest
answered on Jan 25, 2021
You would be entitled to it if you can show you are the only heir or the only devisee (person who takes under a will) of your gandfather. In order to get marketable title now, granddad's probate would have to be finished with a decree that shows who gets the property, presumably your... View More
